Before the last cookie is eaten, the last drop of egg nog drank, or the last gift unwrapped this holiday season, people are asking, “What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” With the Christmas rush, it’s easy to be left scampering for an answer. Fret no more! I’ve compiled a list of various options to ring in the new year, whether you’re looking for a big bash or a quiet affair.
WFPK celebrates their tenth in style [Music]
Wednesday saw the Waterfront jam packed with concert goers as WFPK radio in conjunction with Waterfront Development Corporation and Friends of the Waterfront held their 10th anniversary concert on the breezy evening.

Lucinda Williams tomorrow at the Brown [Music]
There are times when pop just won’t do. You need a raw sound to swoon, cry, or slow-dance in the kitchen to. You need a song that expresses the emotions you can’t seem to sort out on your own. Guitars and vocals that bleed, slow the pulse, and furrow the brow because yeah, I’ve been there. Grammy-award-winning artist Lucinda Williams has mastered these intense, bluesy, chest-clutching songs. She is an artist in every essence of the word--transcending us to naked emotion, stripping us of the spinning world and encouraging us to just feel.

Magnolia Bar receives "Bomb" threat that will change how Louisville dances [Old Louisville]
Of modern luxuries, music was one of the first to become digital, and with that major benefits have been reaped. No longer must we purchase lame albums with one decent track, and everyone loves portable mp3 players. However, with the digitization of music, something has arguably been lost. Have no fear, you can find it at the Magnolia Bar the last Fridays of the month.
